Great filmmakers tend to work in favored subject areas that come to characterize entire careers. It?s hard to imagine Wes Anderson without his character-driven whimsy, or Alfred Hitchcock obsessing on something other than the dark side of human nature.

Swedish director Ruben Ostlund seems to have adopted a narrow focus for his increasingly daring films: how the person each of us would like to be differs from who we really are in the context of everyday life ? or the gulf that exists between private ideals and public actions.

This is fertile ground for satire.?
